The one guide you'll need to know about the openings coming your way in the week ahead. This week, Canary Wharf gets what looks to be a stunning new floating restaurant; there's a new bakery from Dusty Knuckle and the Three Sheets team open a new martini bar.
Tattu
Canary Wharf - 5 Water St, London E14 5GX
This is the second Tattu in London and while the original was on a rooftop in Soho, this one is going to be a floating restaurant in Canary Wharf. It's taking over the space that was once Marceline and from the designs, it looks like it'll be getting an impressive makeover in the process. It's a large space for the Chinese restaurant, with space for over 200 people across its restaurant, cocktail bar and private rooms. There will also be new exclusive dishes like bluefin otoro tuna with lemon pearls, wasabi tobiko and miso butter and hopefully this will all fare better than the previous resident did.
Opening date: 13 November 2026
Berryman's
Dalston - 508 Kingsland Road, Dalston, London, E8 4AE
Berryman's is the latest bar from the team behind Three Sheets and it's opening only a couple of doors down from their original bar in Dalston (which is celebrating its tenth anniversary). But it'll be a very different affair as, for one thing, it'll be a standing-room-only bar (taking its influences from neighbourhood Spanish bars). It'll also be specialising in the drink of the moment, the martini, as well as serving Cornish oysters, snacks and wine. The Three Sheets team has had a very strong track record, so hopes are high for this one.
Opening date: 13 November 2026
Dusty Knuckle
Finsbury Park - 81 Blackstock Rd, Finsbury Park, London N4 2JW
The latest opening from the Dusty Knuckle team actually very quietly opened last week, but Monday is their official opening date. They have a (very popular) van in nearby Highbury Fields, but this is a proper bakery/cafe affair, so as well as popping in to get a loaf of their wonderful potato sourdough, you can also stop in for coffee and sandwiches including a brand new breakfast bun. We expect this to be extremely popular with Finsbury Park locals.
Opening date: 9 November 2026
